Cluster includes 4 nodes that are on rather robust AWS instance (8 cores, 64G ram). Kibana is on same host as es master, three other nodes are separate.

(snipets:)

```
kibana:~$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/nodes?h=host,role,v,rc,hc,hp,heapMax,fielddataMemory,idti,iiti,mtt.rtisqti'
 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

```

Why would this take so long???
